Never weld parts to the gate or posts when the operator circuit board is powered. Doing so may
damage the board beyond repair.
PULL TO OPEN INSTALLATION - PIVOT ARM INSTALLATION - Location of Pivot Point
The following instructions provide up to 105° of swing.
Measurements are taken from the center of pivot of the gate hinge.
The pivot arm needs to be securely mounted to the hinge post or equivalent mounting surface. It is recommended to weld
the pivot arm to a metal post. In order to achieve the correct articulation, geometry and rate of speed of the gate it is
critical that the measurements below are followed. The pivot arm may need to be cut to achieve the correct placement of
the actuator mounting hole. Measurements are taken from the center of pivot of the gate hinge.
